RealtorInWi Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 01/30/2006 9:58 pm Since I'm still a 'newbie' to all this, would this be considered a 'broadstrike'? The obverse is almost curved upwards starting with the last "T" in Trust, going counter-clockwise (and increasingly wider) maximizing around the "B" in liberty.. The reverse doesn't seem that out-of-the-ordinary, but does show a little 'thickness' around "ONE".. Image: 1987obv.jpg 97.3 KB Image: 1987rev.jpg 89.21 KB Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/31/2006 01:56 am A broadstrike involves a coin hit while it's not in the retaining collar. It sandwiches outward, and having nothing to retain its shape and size, is always larger than the normal coin should be. This isn't what you have. What you have is an odd form of die fatigue progression (die wear) that happened commonly in the 80s while the Mint was still experimenting with getting the zinc planchet thing straightened out. This form of die wear is very common for the era of coins yours is in. Report this Post to the Staff
